[Verse 1]
I was fifteen when my daddy's old man
Caught me half way through my first beer
He laughed so hard when my face turned green
He said “You come from a long line of sinners like me”
Now me and my brother go to see him some times
But he don't have much to say anymore
So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D
Here's to a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La de dah de dah
La de dah dah de de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
[Verse 2]
My mama had a soft spot for a hell raisin' boy
So she had two more just like him
It takes an angel to raise a family
That comes from a long line of sinners like me
Well now maybe who knows one day I'll settle down
Give my dad a grandson of his own
And when the doctor smacks him, he'll probably take a swing
Because he'll come from a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La de dah de dah
La de dah dah de de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
[Verse 3]
On the day I die
I know where I'm going to go
Me and Jesus got that part worked out
I'll wait at the gates til his face I see
And stand in a long line of sinners like me
I'll stand in a long line of sinners like me
[Chorus]
La de dah de dah
La de dah dah de de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
La de dah de dah
La de dah dah de de
Here’s to a long line of sinners like me
I come from a long line of sinners like me
I was fifteen when my daddy's old man
Caught me half way through my first beer
He laughed so hard when my face turned green
He said “You come from a long line of sinners like me”
Now me and my brother go to see him some times
But he don't have much to say anymore
So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D
Here's to a long line of sinners like me

La de dah de dah

I come from a long line of sinners like me

And when the doctor smacks him, he'll probably take a swing
Because he'll come from a long line of sinners like me

Here’s to a long line of sinners like me
I come from a long line of sinners like me
